Chapter Fifty-Eight: Nervousness
Concubine Jing knew that she had fallen into the trap that others had designed for her a long time ago, maybe since she started fighting for the throne for the four princes, she was walking along the path that others had designed for her! At this point, she could only grit her teeth and go down, Concubine Jing smiled, and gave Bi An a gift: "According to the opinion of General Manager Bi, what should this palace do?" ”
"Respond to change with the same! It's not too early, the old slave should also retire to serve the emperor, if someone is detected, I'm afraid it will be bad for Niangniang and me. Bi An said to go, and when he walked to the door, he turned to Nunu and said, "Niangniang still made plans early, Concubine Yuan is afraid that she has already sent someone to invite Niangniang at this time." The implication is that Concubine Jing should quickly find a way to send the people under the bed, but I am afraid that Concubine Yuan will search the palace.
Bi An said and turned around and slipped out of Feng'e Garden.
Concubine Jing was like an ant in a frying pot at this time, rubbing her hands back and forth, Xiao Yishuo had already crawled out from under the warm bed, he heard the conversation between Concubine Jing and Bi An just now, a handsome face was no longer romantic, and his face was like earth, he looked at Concubine Jing, and knew that at this time, everyone was a grasshopper on a rope, no one could fly or jump, and it was pointless to complain.
Li Qing on the side rolled his eyes, knelt on the ground and whispered: "Niangniang and the prince don't have to be anxious, didn't Bi An just say that the emperor hasn't woken up yet, there is still room for turning around in this matter, and now I don't know what the emperor has found, Niangniang can push this matter onto the slave maid, just say that the slave and maid seduced the four princes, Niangniang doesn't know, hand over the slave and maid." ”
Concubine Jing picked up Li Qing, shook her head and said: "It's hard for you to be loyal and responsible, but this matter is extraordinary, that is, you seduced the four princes, why did the four princes stay in my palace at night, and how can this matter be justified?" Alas......."
Xiao Yishuo just saw a glimmer of hope, but was blown away by Concubine Jing's words, and he and Li Qing asked in unison, "Then what should we do?" Can't you just wait for death here?! ”
Concubine Jing sighed and said: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, we just have to wait for news, what else can we do?" Maybe ......."
Before Concubine Jing finished speaking, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside Feng'e Garden, and the little eunuch outside the door shouted loudly: "Concubine Yuan has arrived!" Concubine Yuan has arrived! ”
Xiao Yishuo hurriedly wanted to hide, Concubine Jing smiled bitterly and waved her hand, signaling him to steady: "Fourth prince, you and I are called mother and son, and it is common sense for you to come to ask for peace in the morning, why hide?" Concubine Yuan will not treat you like this. ”
Xiao Yishuo stabilized his mind at this time, and quickly straightened her clothes, and Concubine Jing also straightened her clothes, even if she lost, she would lose calmly and beautifully, and she would not let Concubine Yuan see jokes!
"Yo, which fragrant wind blew my sister into my palace?" Concubine Jing swayed and smiled and greeted her, if she is not close to her relatives, she will give a salute to Concubine Yuan, according to the rules and etiquette, Concubine Yuan's position is higher than Concubine Jing, she should have given Concubine Yuan a salute. In the past, Concubine Yuan was polite to her, but today she snorted coldly and let Concubine Jing kneel on the ground.
Concubine Yuan's face is like a full moon, her eyebrows are like a distant dai, her big round eyes are calm, and she is standing there with a calm and dignified demeanor, just like a daughter, her eyes are lowered, and she looks at Concubine Jing and said lightly: "When did my sister become so polite?" ”
Although Concubine Jing was unconvinced in her heart, but now it is different from the past, she has to swallow her anger and bow her head temporarily, she is a person who can bend and endure humiliation, this little grievance is naturally not taken to heart, in the face of Concubine Yuan's sarcasm, Concubine Jing's face was gloomy, and there was a little regret in her expression: "What my sister said is obviously to blame my sister for being rude in the past, only to blame my sister for being young and ignorant, I don't know when and what happened in the past, I offended my sister in the past, and made my sister angry, my sister wants to be punished and punished, and I want to be annoyed and annoyed, just don't be angry with my sister's body, Long live the Lord will be distressed. ”
Concubine Jing deliberately led the topic to the emperor, she knew that in this harem, if there was anyone who was really good to the emperor, I am afraid that there would only be this concubine. Sure enough, when Concubine Yuan heard this, she snorted coldly from her nose: "Even if you have a conscience, you still remember the emperor." ”
"Sister, it's windy here, why don't you talk in the house?" Concubine Jing only felt a pain in her knees, in recent years, how could she have been so wronged? ! If she hadn't known that the emperor was unconscious and Concubine Yuan had mastered the Praetorian Guard, she would not have been insulted by this.
Concubine Yuan saw that Concubine Jing took the initiative to invite her into the house, and she was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "I haven't been out of my palace for two years, and I have heard a lot about the emperor's love for my sister in the past two years. ”
Concubine Yuan didn't wait for Concubine Jing to lead the way, leading seven or eight palace maids into the door, one foot had not yet stepped into the threshold, Xiao Yishuo greeted him from Feng'e Palace, knelt on the ground and said goodbye to Concubine Yuan: "Erchen has seen Concubine Yuan, please say hello to Niangniang." He kowtowed as he spoke.
Concubine Yuan couldn't help but take two steps back, looked at Xiao Yishuo and then looked at Concubine Jing behind her, obviously a little surprised, she only said that there were men hidden in Concubine Jing's palace, but what she didn't want to come out was the fourth prince Xiao Yishuo, these four princes are also quite sensible, in addition to being small-minded, they are also a malleable talent, why is it in Concubine Jing's palace this early in the morning? !
Concubine Yuan stood in the courtyard, she came to Feng'e Garden today to catch the adulterer, but now Xiao Yishuo and Concubine Jing are in front of her, she can only say that it is not reasonable, but she can't say that the two have an affair, she knows that there is no need to enter the house.
"Erchen greets Concubine Yuan." Xiao Yishuo saw Concubine Yuan standing there in a daze, not knowing what he wanted to write, so he raised his voice to remind Concubine Yuan that he was still kneeling on the ground.
Concubine Yuan only felt disheartened, and waved her hand: "Excuse me, but I don't know what happened to the fourth prince in Feng'e Palace this early in the morning?" ”
Xiao Yishuo had already thought of a response, but before he could speak, the palace maid in charge of Liyuan hurriedly ran into the door, didn't care about asking Concubine Jing and the fourth prince to say goodbye, and muttered something in Concubine Yuan's ear, but seeing Concubine Yuan's eyebrows, she couldn't take care of Xiao Yishuo and Concubine Jing, and hurriedly walked out of the palace gate and ran to her bedroom.
Xiao Yishuo and Concubine Jing looked at Concubine Yuan's back, glanced at each other, and Xiao Yishuo asked in a low voice: "What made Concubine Yuan come and go in a hurry?" ”
"What else can I do, looking at the way she looked just now, the emperor must have woken up!"
"Father is awake? Father woke up? Xiao Yishuo began to panic again, "I just stayed up enough to be in prison, I don't want to ....... Alas......." Xiao Yishuo couldn't help but sigh.
Concubine Jing smiled coldly: "Look at your little bit of talent!" I'm scared, I didn't see you scared last night!"
Xiao Yishuo opened his mouth and just wanted to refute, but Li Qing behind him quietly tugged at his sleeve, shook his head and signaled him not to talk back, Xiao Yishuo shut up. Concubine Jing stared thoughtfully at the air, as if asking Xiao Yishuo and then seemed to be talking to herself: "It's strange, I always feel that someone is secretly holding our noses, and we seem to be following his wishes." ”
Xiao Yishuo glanced at Concubine Jing: "Don't be suspicious and scare people, there are clearly just you, me and Qing'er here, where is there anyone else?" ”
Concubine Jing snorted coldly: "Yo yo yo, Qing'er, you are so affectionate, I'm afraid that the vinegar jar in your house is going to be knocked over, right?" ”
"When is it, you still have the heart to say that these are useless!" Xiao Yishuo flicked the sleeves of his robe.
Bi An hurriedly walked in the door, glanced at Xiao Yishuo and Concubine Jing meaningfully, and passed the holy decree with a flick of the dust: "Concubine Jing receives the decree, the four princes receive the decree, and the emperor announces that you two will take Li Qingliyuan to see you, there must be no mistake!" ”
Concubine Jing and Xiao Yishuo looked at Bi An suspiciously, and it was just a matter of announcing that the two of them would see the driver, how could the emperor announce that Li Qing would see the driver? Concubine Jing hurriedly retreated left and right, and asked Bi An for the news: "Is the emperor really awake?" Did the emperor say anything? Bi An peeked around, shook his head slowly, and said loudly: "Niangniang and the fourth prince should go with our family, the emperor can go immediately." ”
Xiao Yishuo and Concubine Jing each had their own confidants, and as Bi An walked towards Liyuan, Concubine Jing was fine, although she was worried about the East Window incident, but with her understanding of the emperor, this cowardly and faint monarch with a good face would only snub her for the sake of the royal family's face. Xiao Yishuo is different, he only feels that his legs and stomach are turning tendons, and he can't wait to take two steps and take three steps back.
Bi An saw it in his eyes, and secretly laughed in his heart, no wonder Prime Minister Lan was bent on helping this fourth prince to ascend the throne and sit in the palace, it seemed that this fourth prince was as timid and easy to grasp as his father. Bi An urged: "Fourth prince, you should hurry up!" The old slave told you the truth, your princess also broke into the Qingning Palace early in the morning to look for the emperor, and at this time she was suing you before the royal car! ”
"Who? Sue me? Sue me for what? Xiao Yishuo didn't understand it for a while.
Bi An shouted, "My lord, don't you remember what you did last night?" Princess Tianbao is suing you for disturbing the palace and disturbing the harem from the emperor! ”
It turned out that Xiao Yishuo did not return last night, Xue Wu only felt frightened, restless, for peace of mind, Xue Wu forced himself to spread out the rice paper, picked up the brush and began to write poems and paintings, and I don't know why, in the past, the poems were all in the tip of the pen, but today the pen is in hand, not a word. Just put down the pen and picked it up and put it down, there was only one hate word on the slightly pale rice paper, it was nearly five o'clock, Xue Wu was very tired and fell asleep on the desk groggily, there seemed to be someone pushing her in the haze, she woke up in a trance, and there was an extra note on the desk, which probably meant that Xiao Yishuo had an affair with Concubine Jing's niece in the Feng'e Palace, and was recognized by the emperor, if she wanted to save Xiao Yishuo's life, she quickly entered the palace.
Xue Wu sat in place in a daze with a note, as if she was still in a dream, a low but urgent call suddenly came from outside the door, she listened carefully, and heard that the person was her father Lan Guang, who called the door at this time, and Xue Wu knew that the seriousness of the matter may be beyond her imagination.
Xue Wu opened the door, and then she knew that Daddy Lan Guang had also received a note!
